Local Insights & Tips
Nigerians are generally warm and hospitable. A friendly 'hello' or 'good morning' (Sanu/Ina kwana in Hausa) goes a long way. English is widely spoken, but learning a few local phrases can enhance your experience. Embrace the vibrant energy of the city and be open to trying new foods and experiences. Street food, especially suya (grilled meat skewers) and akara (bean cakes), is a must-try for food lovers.
